The City Attorney's Office and the District Attorney's Office are separate agencies, and handle different cases.

The District Attorney's Office handles:

• Violations of state law, usually the more serious cases involving broken bones, stitches, hospitalization, or use of a weapon
• The more serious traffic charges such as Hit and Run or Driving Under the Influence of drugs or alcohol.

The City Attorney's Office, through the Prosecution and Code Enforcement Section, prosecutes most other traffic violations, and all violations of Denver's City law (ordinances). The City ordinance violations we prosecute cover a variety of subjects, including domestic violence and nuisances.
